I REALLY wanted to like this place! I stayed optimistic the whole time, but with the overall…read moreexperience, I would NOT recommend eating here. We were greeted by a small child (maybe 10 years old), who was barefoot when he walked back into the kitchen to yell that "customers are here". This was a little off putting, and we probably should have turned around right then. Unfortunately, we did not, I was hungry, and we had been on the road for 5 hours. After combing through the huge (and kinda confusing but that doesn't bother me) menu, we decided on multiple dim sum dishes and one main dish to share. When we went to order, 5/6 things we wanted to order were "sold out". This was beyond frustrating, and while she said that they were on vacation to explain why they were out of everything, I wish they told us that when we sat down rather than waiting until after we were ready to order. I ended up just settling for a safe option of steamed roasted pork buns and chicken fried rice. They were just okay. However my boyfriend got the "chicken three cups" with a side of fried rice, and he said he liked it.

It's been at least a year since we've tried the food here. I suppose the last time wasn't the worst Chinese food we've had but they were starting to go down hill and became pretty inconsistent with Chinese food to plain old slop. Tonight was the last straw! I won't even go into the details with the obvious day old egg roles and fried wantons. But the rice and main dishes reminded me of something from a prison movie where they slapped wet brown cold running by crap on a Platte. Of coarse we ordered carry out, the worst part is you get it home, hungry and it's disgusting! Don't waist your time, hard earned money on this place. There has to be a decent Chinese restaurant somewhere?! Take care and stay hungry my friends!

I showed up not 2/3 min after calling it in and my order was already ready. I know this is a strange thing to complain about but I ordered tofu. That's rarely pre-cooked. But I think the quickness indicates that the dish is mostly precooked and just the protein is added. The dish came in a paper Togo container. Definitely made a mess. Very few vegetables and not much taste. It def tasted like it was a precooked dish. The steamed rice was very over cooked. The one dish was almost $17 after taxes. There are definitely other options that are much better. I definitely won't be going back.

This Chinese could be fabulous if the cooks just went to the best Chinese restaurant in Sioux Falls and took notes. The restaurant is spotless clean and the staff is truly lovely. But in our order, there wasn't a single vegetable in any of the food. None, zero. It was all fried and covered in sweet sauce. Even the hot and sour soup had zero vegetables - just something fried and beige stock. Fellas - love the vegetables and add them to you food - spring onions, regular onions, carrots, kale, peppers. I know that your grandparents or parents use vegetables in their food. If you fix this, you might just finally be packed because you have the cleanliness down pat. Not recommended until they update their food, but 2 stars for friendliness and cleanliness. read more

One of the problems with being fortunate enough to travel to many places around the world is that…read moreeventually you become spoiled. You begin to recognize what authentic and distinctive flavors are actually supposed to taste like. And unfortunately, you also become very aware when something simply doesn't quite hit the mark. Pho Thai is quite popular in Sioux Falls and now has several locations around the city, so naturally my husband and I wanted to give it a try. Sioux Falls is still developing its international food scene compared to places like Phoenix, where we previously lived, so we are always hopeful when we hear good things about a local spot. The experience overall was unfortunately pretty underwhelming. The food wasn't terrible, but most of it felt very middle-of-the-road and lacked the distinctive flavor profiles that make Thai and Vietnamese cuisine so memorable. We tried a variety of dishes along with appetizers like the pot stickers, which were perfectly edible, but fairly generic overall. Some of the food throughout the meal seemed either slightly underdone or overdone, which made the kitchen execution feel inconsistent. The noodles themselves were fine, but again, nothing really stood out. That's honestly the recurring issue we had with most of the meal: nothing was actively offensive, but almost nothing made us excited either. It felt less like carefully crafted regional cuisine and more like food designed to play things very safely. I think if you have limited exposure to Thai or Vietnamese food, especially in smaller Midwestern cities, you may enjoy this place much more than we did. For Sioux Falls, it is probably considered one of the better available options. But for us, after experiencing truly wonderful versions of these cuisines in larger cities and abroad, this just didn't compare. Still searching for that authentic spark over here. Nonetheless, the restaurant was clean, busy, and satisfactory enough for a casual meal. Just not somewhere we'd personally rank very highly.

The soy garlic wings and honey garlic wings are also good choices! The lady working at the register is always nice and friendly. I've seen her everytime I've been here. The restaurant has always been clean including the bathroom which is good, because you know if the bathrooms are dirty their kitchen probably is too! And that's no bueno! Good place to eat.
